I'm glad I found out his name. I was goin...WOW! I'm glad I found out his name. I was going to write you guys to find out.<br /><br />I had a fabulous time! You have a fantastic zoo. If I lived in Knoxville I'd be there all the time.<br /><br />Bantu was so cool. He slowly ambled up the hill and sat down with his back to the glass and looked at me. I thought the glass was tinted and he just sensed me really. But he let me take his photo, from which I drew this picture. I had my little neices with me and they were too scared to stay in the cave. <br /><br />So glad you approve!<br /><br />I'll be drawing or painting those rhinos soon. They were in the midst of a quarrel when I went by there. What awesome beasts! <br /><br />My brother lives in Knoxville and every time I visit them I also visit the zoo. Years ago when I attended ORHS I used to skip school to visit the zoo. It sure has grown and improved over the years.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />ClareClarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697472695270066605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837885970597870261.post-84750069399513060602010-09-22T06:52:31.521-07:002010-09-22T06:52:31.521-07:00Clare, what a gorgeous portrait of Bantu!
